BREMERTON - Kitsap County will contribute $48,000 to the cleanup of  
contaminated soils at Crownhill School in Bremerton, under an  
agreement signed this week by the county commissioners.

Bremerton School District has taken the lead role in the cleanup of  
the school property at 1500 Rocky Point Road and an adjacent property  
owned by Bremerton United Methodist Church. The area was contaminated  
with a mix of metals and petroleum chemicals when the site was used  
as a landfill for municipal and industrial wastes. The county once  
owned a portion of the site not connected with the landfill,  
officials say.

The county and school district disagree about whether the county is  
liable to pay some of the cleanup costs, but the $48,000 payment will  
help avoid costly litigation, according to the agreement signed by  
both parties.
